Couples Therapy in New York
Most couples don’t fight because they don’t love each other; they fight because they’re stuck in a cycle. Couples therapy helps you understand what’s actually happening underneath the conflict: unmet needs, old wounds, stress overload, mismatched coping styles, and communication breakdown
Couples therapy can help if you’re dealing with:
Constant arguments or repeated “same fight” conflict
Emotional distance, shutdown, or resentment
Trust issues, repair after rupture, or rebuilding after betrayal
Different needs around intimacy, closeness, or independence
Difficulty communicating without escalation
What Couples Therapy Can Change
Identify and interrupt your conflict cycle
Learn communication tools that actually work in real life
Create emotional safety and better repair after conflict
Strengthen boundaries and shared decision-making
Rebuild connection and intimacy over time
My Approach
I support couples in building both practical skills and emotional understanding. Many conflicts are rooted in subjective lived experience; two people can have different “truths” and both make sense. Therapy becomes a space to slow down, clarify impact vs intention, and learn how to stay connected even when you disagree. My therapy approach is rooted in the Gottman Method.
